Yeah, the MaxMind data is as of March 2014 -- out of date. Sorry about that!

If you're interested in using the http://ipinfo.io API for this, so you don't have to worry about keeping your database up to date and you get additional details, let me know. I'd be happy to hook you up with a free unlimited plan specifically for this site.

It seems like your getting this info from ARIN? Do you happen to have any restrictions on this API? Thanks!

Update: I've downloaded the GeoLite data from April 2015, replacing the old March 2014 data! You should now be seeing more accurate results. :)

Where's the direct link to obtain a copy of this updated GeoLite data (Apr 2015) pls?

It tries to look up IPv6 addresses as domain names, unfortunately.

Any reason why all CloudFlare connections bounce through TeliaSonera in Switzerland? It seems grossly inefficient to cross the Atlantic twice just to get from Massachusetts to California. Also, MIT -> Facebook : MA, MI, Singapore, Ireland, CA? How accurate is the data?

The data is as of March 2014, and therefore out of date -- I'm working on updating it right now. :) As I remember from when the data was fresh, sometimes you do get crazy hops across the Atlantic like that, though.

International hops make the traffic less illegally intercepted by domestic espionage organizations...?

Still not very accurate. It thinks my DigitalOcean droplet is in Russia. (actually in London)

.ru sure?

Yes, he ".is".

Do you verify geoip data using RTT to the hop and speed of light in optical fiber?
